I'm halfway with fnaqzna on this one. I don't believe we should do away with the Pledge of Allegiance, but I do believe that the meaning of the pledge should be hammered home before it's taught to students. It's a pledge to stand behind your nation, come what may, and should be respected.
I'm angered by just about every government usage of the word "God". I think religion is a monumental joke, and I get upset when I hear the government including it in anything that they do. It makes me feel very much that my elected officials don't give two shits about what I think.
